I thought this was a really strong flash, Rachael. Funnily enough we are just replacing our roof and have found hundreds of wasps nests, just as you describe, abandoned one after the other. I love how you have taken this metaphor, and how you have transported us through your character&#39;s mind into the attic. Some beautiful turns of phrase too: resin-rich rafters is just gorgeous. I also love the idea of the wife lobbing things in, creating a kind of ripple effect of cast off family items. Really poignant (and in fact true).
